The Return of the Sorceress
The Return of the Sorceress | Silvia Moreno-Garcia
5 posts | 3 read | 3 to read
Yalxi, the deposed Supreme Mistress of the Guild of Sorcerers, is on a desperate mission. Her lover and confidant seized her throne and stole the precious diamond heart, the jewel that is the engine of her power. Yalxi sets out to regain her magic and find a weapon capable of destroying the usurper. But this will mean turning to unlikely allies and opening herself up to unpleasant memories that have been suppressed for many years. For Yalxi is no great hero, but a cunning sorceress who once forged her path in blood--and must reckon with the consequences. Set in a fantastical land where jewels and blood provide symbiotic magical powers to their wearers, The Return of the Sorceress evokes the energy of classic sword and sorcery, while building a thoroughly fresh and exciting adventure ripe for our era.

I was excited to hear about Silvia Moreno-Garcia releasing a Fantasy story as it's my favorite genre.

This was a very ambitious novella. I'm not sure if my copy was a bit mangled and the typos weren't on purpose but this read like something a beginner author would write.

The dialogue felt awkward at times and the novella would have benefitted from a larger page count to develop the world. I enjoyed it well enough but it felt flawed.

Progress:

I haven't finished anything this week but I will this following week. I was very tired and distracted most of last week and as a result, my reading suffered. On Tuesday I will probably finish the tagged book, but on Monday I have other things to do first.

Moreno-Garcia has been on my To Read list for a long time. I have Gods of Jade and Shadow sitting on my tablet, and I‘ve heard nothing but good things about Mexican Gothic. I was in the mood for something quick, so I grabbed a copy of The Return of the Sorceress. A quick, engaging, and highly entertaining read. This is the sort of fictional universe that I would love to return to again and again. Highly recommended. #fantasy #mexicanfantasy #magic

An Aurora Best Novella nominee, this story about a sorceress who seeks revenge is a decent story but far from Silvia Moreno-Garcia's best.

This was my final book finished for the #20in4 readathon and I finished with a total of 12 hours and 45 minutes. Thanks @Andrew65 for hosting!
